Comment
Parties are provided with public funding in relation to elections.
Annual funding; portion to parties with Parliamentary representation, portion to parties that received at least 1% in the last election.
Post-registration assistance is also given to political parties as they register.
Election funding: 50% to parties with Parliamentary representation; 50% to parties that won two or more seats in the last election (to be returned if they fail to win a seat in the current election).?
